Paradise in Hell, Hell in Paradise

QUESTION WITHOUT ANSWER

Life is like an eternal dream,
that ends in a second,
it is a PARADISE in a HELL,
that we call the world,
in which we wander
and fantasise illusory realities,
complicate the simple
and find logical explanations
for things that have no sense…

Life, summer sun on winter days
or winter cold under summer sun,
a paradise in hell
or even hell in paradise,
where eternity lasts a second
or every well experienced second is eternal,
or who knows an illogical sense, an illusory reality
or just a complicated explanation
for a question without an answer…

(Marcos Vieira, 1985)
